andrew018018 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Well i have 2 set of JBL tweeters that are 4 ohms each, and i have a bipolar crossover capacitor which handles quite a decent amount of power, can i wire both tweeters in series and then to one capacitor per pair? like: (+)---------------------(tweeter)-----------(tweeter)-----------(capacitor)-----------------(-) Quote My System (in VW golf/Rabbit mk2) (1) Hifonics Brutus 2010D @ 1ohm (1) Hifonics Zeus 440 Mids'nhighs (3) JBL W10Gti subs (2) JBL GTO838 (2) JBL GTO936 (1) run of 3/0 Gauge ofc (1) Ac Delco120ah 850cca battery (front) (1) Ac Delco 45ah 330cca battery (rear) (1)Sony Gt630ui hu 34hz tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew018018 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 just a note, they will be in parallel with two 6.5" 8ohm mid-range drivers Quote My System (in VW golf/Rabbit mk2) (1) Hifonics Brutus 2010D @ 1ohm (1) Hifonics Zeus 440 Mids'nhighs (3) JBL W10Gti subs (2) JBL GTO838 (2) JBL GTO936 (1) run of 3/0 Gauge ofc (1) Ac Delco120ah 850cca battery (front) (1) Ac Delco 45ah 330cca battery (rear) (1)Sony Gt630ui hu 34hz tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankkilla420 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I dunno about the cap but why would you wire it into the speaker wire? Wouldn't it go inline with your amps power wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 You have 2 component sets ... why don't you use the passive crossovers that came with them ... then series the complete sets to a 8 ohm load for the 2 channel amp ??? or ... what final ohm load do you want the amp to see ??

My idea was to have a 2.6ohm load(actually it should end up being a bit less) on each of the front 2 channels of my 4channel so that i'll get about 80 watts a side, that's the reason that i want the tweeters in series, i'm certain that the cap to will take the power and theoretically the circuit makes sense... but i just want some advice from some experienced people thank you for your reply Quote My System (in VW golf/Rabbit mk2) (1) Hifonics Brutus 2010D @ 1ohm (1) Hifonics Zeus 440 Mids'nhighs (3) JBL W10Gti subs (2) JBL GTO838 (2) JBL GTO936 (1) run of 3/0 Gauge ofc (1) Ac Delco120ah 850cca battery (front) (1) Ac Delco 45ah 330cca battery (rear) (1)Sony Gt630ui hu 34hz tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacitors inline with tweeter are used as highpass filters, they cut off at a certain frequency according to their capacitance Quote My System (in VW golf/Rabbit mk2) (1) Hifonics Brutus 2010D @ 1ohm (1) Hifonics Zeus 440 Mids'nhighs (3) JBL W10Gti subs (2) JBL GTO838 (2) JBL GTO936 (1) run of 3/0 Gauge ofc (1) Ac Delco120ah 850cca battery (front) (1) Ac Delco 45ah 330cca battery (rear) (1)Sony Gt630ui hu 34hz tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew018018 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Why such a funky load after all is said and done? Funky load? A load doesn't have to be a whole number or 1, 2 or 4 ohm.. as with the case of most 4channels is that they put out the most power at 2 ohms per channel, so i wanted to get as close as possible This is how parallel impedance is worked out: 1/Rtotal = 1/Rmid1 + 1/Rmid2 + 1/(Rtweet1 + Rtweet2) Rtotal = 1/ (1/8 + 1/8 + 1/(4+4) )= 2.66* ohm Quote My System (in VW golf/Rabbit mk2) (1) Hifonics Brutus 2010D @ 1ohm (1) Hifonics Zeus 440 Mids'nhighs (3) JBL W10Gti subs (2) JBL GTO838 (2) JBL GTO936 (1) run of 3/0 Gauge ofc (1) Ac Delco120ah 850cca battery (front) (1) Ac Delco 45ah 330cca battery (rear) (1)Sony Gt630ui hu 34hz tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
